Radial Engine

A radial engine is an internal combustion engine where the pistons are arranged like spokes in a wheel, around a central crankshaft. This configuration provides excellent cooling and allows for a compact design. Radial engines were commonly used in aircraft during the 1930s and 1940s due to their reliability and power. Today, they are still used in certain specialized applications such as marine engines and stationary power plants.
